Landscape

The Weser river, as a lifeline of the region, winds its way through the countryside in strong curves. An interplay of rivers and lakes, forests and moors characterize the landscape of the region. It is created in Hannoversch Münden by the confluence of the Werra and Fulda rivers. It is 477 kilometers from here to the North Sea.

While the waters were formerly used for fishing, to drive numerous water mills or as a transport route, today they offer a variety of water sports and leisure activities. It does not matter if you prefer to fish in peace or to take a boat trip with friends. Also for sport boaters and canoe tours there are ideal conditions.

Experience the Middle Weser region on foot: For centuries, people have set out for religious reasons to make a pilgrimage. They want to distance themselves from bad habits and from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and at the same time find a way to discover themselves. But hiking is also very popular. The landscape forms of the Middle Weser region are diverse: wide Geestlands with beautiful forests and colorful fields, extensive moorland and heathland determine the landscape. Moors are mined for peat and then wetted again, creating lake landscapes. Calm and idyllic, these near-natural nooks are ideal for relaxing in, and at the same time the flora and fauna are exciting to observe.
